Chapter 151: Chaos 1
After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, the generals were also very excited, and waited for Gao Huaiyuan's order, but only Zhou Hao frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Handsome!" Although today's fog is good news, I think that the Tartars have been rushing to build wooden rafts these days, and they have not to give up the idea of crossing the river, could it be that the Tartars are also waiting for such an opportunity? The last general thinks that the handsome should still be cautious! Be prepared, and the Mongolian army will also take advantage of this fog to force the Jingshui and attack our army! ”
Gao Huaiyuan paused for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a while, nodded and said, "Zhou Hao, you are really calm, what you said is good, but the official is too lax!"
Well! The Tartars are indeed behaving unusually these days, and the wooden rafts they have built are enough to support the transportation of a large number of soldiers and horses across the river in a short time! But they didn't force their way to attack! Something is really out of the ordinary!
So what do the rest of you think of this anomaly of the Mongol army? ”
Huang Yan nodded and said, "What General Zhou said is reasonable, maybe the Tartars are also waiting for this fog!" But the last general wondered, how could the Tartars have predicted this fog in advance? Could it be that there are immortals among them? ”
Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate the Tartars, for the generals, they must not only know how to control the army and fight, but also know the weather, and use the weather for their own use!" When Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from the grass boat, didn't he also predict in advance that there would be fog? It seems that we have to guard against it! ”
The generals in the tent discussed this matter in a whisper, and after thinking carefully for a while, Gao Huaiyuan still felt that Zhou Hao's reminder was very important, so he quickly made up his mind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "In that case, let's prepare with both hands, Huang Yan!" If you don't find that the enemy army takes advantage of the fog to rush to the crossing, then choose a place downstream to land on the north bank, sneak attack the enemy camp before dawn, there is Fei Wenlong lurking on the north bank, you two flank each other, even if you can't inflict heavy damage on the Tartar army, at least you can repel them, and create conditions for our army to cross the river and pursue! Gao Huaiyuan took out an arrow and instructed Huang Yan. Huang Yan immediately went out to receive the order, and immediately turned around and began to dispatch troops and horses to board the boat on the riverside wharf.
"Jiang Hai, you lead an army to patrol west along the river, strictly prevent the Mongolian army from crossing the river while the fog is over, once you find that the Mongolian army is crossing the river, you will immediately attack the enemy in Bandu, and you will not let it land smoothly.
Li Ruohu, you also led an army, out of the camp to patrol the east along the river, and also strictly prevent the Mongolian army from crossing the river.
Zhou Hao, you also lead an army to prepare, once the Mongol army crosses the river in large numbers, stick to the big camp and not let the Mongols succeed!
Xie Quan, you set up your artillery at the east gate and the north gate of the camp, get ready, and once the Tartars come, you will beat them hard!
At the same time, the remaining generals also took their troops and horses to prepare for the enemy, ready to be dispatched at any time, ready to fight!
Now that the fog is coming, we need to be prepared! Let's get moving! Gao Huaiyuan quickly began to give orders, one by one the generals came out to receive the order, and then with a wave of his hand, the generals immediately dispersed out of the tent, and began to gather their own troops and horses, and got busy...
The army led by Gao Huaiyuan can almost be said to be his Gao family army, and the main generals are basically from the Crouching Tiger Zhuang line, and only a small number of people are from the front of the palace or Lizhou Road, so Gao Huaiyuan dispatched them, it can be said that it is as convenient as an arm, and no one will object to his authority. Jiang Hai and Li Ruohu each led a group of soldiers and horses, left the camp and began to patrol along the riverbank, and asked their soldiers and horses to advance quietly and listen carefully to the movement on the river.
Huang Yan immediately led the troops and boarded the various boats collected in these days, which were operated by local fishermen and ordinary people who were familiar with the nature of the water, and began to sail down the shore and down the river.
And Gao Huaiyuan himself was also neatly dressed, and began to patrol the camp with the two tigers and other personal guards, and the artillery guns were withdrawn by Xie Quan's artillery camp and placed on both sides of the two northeast gates of the camp, and the muzzles of the guns pointed to the open space outside the camp from the gap between the wooden fences.
The fog became heavier and heavier, and although it could not reach the point where it could not reach out and not see its fingers, it was impossible to see things clearly from a few dozen paces away, and the torches from a hundred paces away also lost their light, which was both an advantage and a difficulty for the generals on both sides, making it impossible for them to see clearly the affairs of a hundred paces away.
Gao Huaiyuan walked to the north gate of the camp, walked out of the camp, and came to the bank of Jingshui, by the light of the torches and lamp balls of his own soldiers, looking at the thick fog on the river, listening to the sound on the river, he vaguely seemed to hear some water sounds, but he couldn't judge where these sounds came from, so he approached the river bank some distances.
Suddenly, he heard a monstrous shouting and killing sound on the river, Gao Huaiyuan was slightly startled, knowing that Zhou Hao had guessed correctly, and the Mongolian army also took advantage of this fog to start crossing the Jing River and was going to come over to attack their Song army...
Sure enough, after leading the troops to board the boat and set sail, just after driving a short distance, he bumped into a large number of Mongolian troops on rafts trying to cross the river in the dense fog on the river. Both sides only discovered each other at a very close distance, and both sides did not light the torches in order to conceal themselves, and the Song army only wanted to maintain the formation of the fleet, and lit a small wind lantern behind the ** of each boat to indicate the location of the front ship for the ships behind.
Therefore, it can be said that by the time the two armies found each other, they were basically able to reach each other, so suddenly a fierce battle broke out on the water.
No one dares to light a lamp in the dark, and once it is lit, it will immediately become a live target for the opponent's archers, so the two armies can only fight in a chaotic battle with black lights...
At this moment, the ships and wooden rafts of the two armies were crowded together, entangled in chaos, and the soldiers of the two armies were frantically attacking the enemy who suddenly appeared, but neither of them could see each other clearly, so this chaos did not need to be mentioned, anyway, as long as they saw that the other party's ride was different from their own, it must be the enemy, and the attack would not be wrong.
The shouts of killing on the river sounded, and the generals of both sides listened nervously to the voices on the river, and they couldn't figure out how many enemy generals their side had encountered.
And Gao Huaiyuan immediately regretted it, he regretted that he shouldn't have been so eager for quick success, and sent Huang Yan out to sneak attack the enemy, on such a dark river, it is very dangerous for everyone to be so entangled by the two parties, he doesn't want to be planted here in such a daze by such a good brother...
After thinking about it for a while, Gao Huaiyuan immediately sent an order to go down, began to sing gold along the river bank, and ordered Huang Yan's department to immediately withdraw to the south bank.
But the effect of this is basically nothing, because at this time, Huang Yan's ships have been completely entangled with the wooden platoon of the Mongolian army, even if they hear the sound of Mingjin, they can't quickly retreat, only so in the dark, they fight and kill their opponents on the river.
And the Mongol army crossed the river this time, the selected section of the river was very wide, they almost pushed wood into the water at the same time on the river section of several miles, some Mongolian soldiers and Song army ships collided together, but there were still many Mongolian troops did not meet the Song army's boats, and continued to attack the south bank under their operation...
Originally, both sides wanted to surprise each other, but after the minds came together, it became a chaotic battle.
Soon, Jiang Hai and Li Ruohu's troops on the shore also discovered that the wooden platoons of the Mongolian army began to approach the south bank and began to land, but they couldn't see farther, and they couldn't intercept the enemy troops in the river with bows and crossbows in advance before the Mongolian soldiers landed.
So the two armies quickly rushed down the river beach and fought fiercely with the Mongol troops who tried to land.
Along the banks of the Jingshui River for several miles, there were fierce shouts and fights, and for a while, no one could effectively control their generals, let alone understand the situation of the enemy army, so they could only listen to the sound in the dark and fight endlessly.
Gao Huaiyuan was anxious to go downstream to see the situation at the place where the shouting and killing was the strongest, but he was immediately dragged by the two tigers, and a group of personal soldiers said that he would not let him go to those places so rashly, and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "You are the commander of the first army, and you should be in command in the camp at this time!" ”
Gao Huaiyuan had no choice but to listen to their opinions, and after stopping to listen for a while, he planned to leave the river bank and return to the camp...
But at this time, many arrows suddenly flew from the river, and they were scattered next to Gao Huaiyuan and his guards, and two or three guards were immediately hit by arrows, and after snorting, they endured the pain and did not fall to the ground, and the guards immediately blocked Gao Huaiyuan with their bodies under the leadership of the two tigers, and hurriedly escorted Gao Huaiyuan to retreat towards the camp.
And several large wooden platoons also quickly leaned against the bank, and groups of Mongolian soldiers immediately jumped onto the riverbank, chasing Gao Huaiyuan and his party and pounced on the Song army camp.
It turned out that some Mongolian soldiers rushed to the front from the front, did not meet Huang Yan's fleet, and successfully reached the south bank, they suddenly found some lights on the river before docking, so they immediately began to attack with arrows on the raft, but they did not expect that the attack was actually the main general of the Song army, and after going ashore, they had to assemble again, and delayed a little time, and as a result, Gao Huaiyuan, a small group of people, successfully retreated into the camp.
After a commander of the Mongol army landed on the shore, he immediately gathered a group of soldiers and generals who came ashore nearby, roughly selected the direction of the Song army camp, and pounced on the Song army camp.
And Xie Quan also walked back and forth in the artillery array at the north gate, although the sky was gradually brightening at this time, but it was still very dim in the dense fog, he couldn't see anything dozens of steps away from the barracks at all, but he listened to the sound, but there were already a large number of people and horses who seemed to be rushing in the direction of the camp, but he couldn't see whether the other party was friend or foe.
So he thought of an idea, and immediately ordered the archers guarding the camp to launch a batch of rockets tied with tarpaulins as far as possible outside the camp, and after a large number of rockets fell, they ignited about eighty steps outside the camp, and the rocket shafts inserted in the ground burned up, just becoming small torches, so that Xie Quan and their artillerymen could at least see things near the rockets.
